the, the, you're watching the, the, it was coming to live from berlin, world leaders head to a summit on a piece and ukraine. security is tight in switzerland as representatives begin to arrive. the conference is aimed at developing a roadmap for ukraine and bring an end to russia's invasion. also coming up on the show, south africa opened a new political capital with a familiar leader. there over on of hosa is re elected president following a coalition agreement that sees his amc parties share power for the 1st time. the 1st victory euro 2024 goes to the house,

the germany put on a dazzling display to peruse past scotland by one in the opening match the i'm going to richardson. thank you so much for watching. a summit on a piece in ukraine kicks off today in switzerland, bringing together more than 90 countries. ukraine's president will let him use westgate arrived into town of gordon short on friday evening. german chancellor, all actual french presidents and one of them are con and us vice president. cala harris will also attend the summit. aims to create unity around a peace plan. put forward by you pray, but russia is not invited and explained. backer china is not coming either. the

conference is also serving to highlight divisions among the international community about the way forward in ukraine are all in together. we can stop the madness from moscow most moments until we deprive russian or if the opportunity to terrorize you create ops included and we'll have a no real interest in seeking a payment plan for that. even though, like for say, a pc to morrow and don't be does it fit? yeah. the lights of all ukrainian presidents. a lot to me is a lensky on the road and stock code for live harris at the g 7 summit in italy. o is the same message. ukraine needs more support to stop rushing aggression at home . ukraine faces and unrelenting onslaught. its forces are overstretched at low on air munition and soldiers rush uh, range missiles and cities and makes territorial games. a stark contrast to the peace summit and this without where ukraine's friends are gathering to discuss its peace plan without russia. so landscape 10 point plan includes

demands that russia respect ukraine's territorial integrity, which means giving back land it has captured by force. it also demands a complete russian military withdrawal calls for an international court for russian war crimes and reparations. it's not clear if there will be a consensus on the key points. but after the g 7 summit, you crane can count on long term support from its closest allies. last, the piece you create must be underwritten by ukraine's own ability to defend itself now. and to deter future aggression any time in the future. or however, under cutting the cranium plan, brazil and china have released their own peace plan calling for de escalation and dialogue without naming russia as the aggressor. neither country is attending the peace summit. china said it was pointless if both russia and ukraine did not participate. lansky has been diplomatic and responding to china's fig statement. if

china has alternative view on it, each can prepare alternative these formula. if we share coleman views on a likely, globally with all the world, i think so. so if they share the same way to peace, we will find dial. so leslie has tried to drum up as much support from the so called global south as possible. and on the visiting singapore, in the philippines last week to meet with leaders. but so lensky was unable to convince many countries from the global south to join the p summit and get them to support his plan to isolate russia. some have left it on clear or say they will not attend as the war rages on, it's unclear just how much real progress can happen without involving russia or china. but organizers say the talks are

a start with the goal of eventually bringing russia to the table. and we have our correspondent, rosy bird with an update for us from switzerland, rosie, tell us a little bit more about the expectations for this so much. i are you here in the swiss mountains? you really feel a bit kind of cuts off from the world going up winding mountain roads in order to get here. and i think the organizers had in their mind to try and unload these world leaders to come together get some face time away from the challenges of their domestic politics and to work on laying the ground toward peace and ukraine. and of course, as the war and ukraine drugs sold, the stakes are very high. but i should say that to some extent, expectations here are low. and that is because there is no one to go piece negotiation happening here. what states are doing is trying to work. what could be the 1st steps towards possible negotiations down the line there, tackling topics like the return of you credited children. so humanitarian issues, food security, nuclear safety and those while the are difficult issues to discuss. they're

certainly not the most contentious issues when it comes to what piece of new credit could look like down the line. for example, really talking about which lands belongs to who and of course, be seen russia trying to do rail, they summit, it every way possible. so denigrating it saying it's not worth coming to, it was not invited, but russia also said from the outset that it was not interested in coming. and it is also been trying to convince countries and the so called global sites not to show up. and beyond that, russia also just on the, even if somebody released its own so called peace proposal, which of course is totally not accessible to credit because it essentially is asking you crate in that proposal to capitulate at the hand over its territory. indeed, as you say, russia not invited a china, not there, even the united states president joe biden out there instead sending a vice president cala harris. tell us a little bit more about what that says about this conference. us. it's an, it really is defined in so many ways it's discussions around it, at least defined by who is not here. so joe, by the us president,

was taken away by domestic concerns with the, of course he has to balance its support to ukraine with fighting for his own re election back in the united states. he sent his vice president campbell of hires. instead, there are 57 world leaders gathered here and learned about 95 countries overall. but there are some really big notable absences, especially when it comes to really the diplomatic big categories in africa, asia, latin america. so for example, so as africa, india, brazil, indonesia have chosen to instead send lower level representative. so either just that this will not or administer instead of a head of state to these talks. and i think that will be seen by some where the smell of bass and certainly that is we understand, at least under some pressure from russia and an reportedly also from china, which has been trying to convince countries not to show up here. still, i think organizes will say, look, 57 heads of state is not nothing 95 countries. that is a big chair. little bit under half of the the united nations members. and that is

showing a support for ukraine and support for war torn ukraine as it moves forward in this more. but i think whether or not on how they managed to negotiate a final declaration among all these different countries, this very different interest that had to be said, that will be the one to watch. the wrap up talks here on sunday in the afternoon, or as a thank you, that is rosie bernard, from a vocational in switzerland. us and we can turn to south africa now, whereas the african national congress or amc has struck a deal to form a coalition. government with multiple other parties. among them is their long time rival, the democratic alliance, or d a. this all is a major election upset in which the amc lost its majority for the 1st time since the end of white minority rule. under apartheid. the coalition also agreed on re electing circle, round the post as president. here's more on his unprecedented term, had from our correspondence, diane hawker. so i'm gonna post the has retained the semester can presidency,

but this time under different circumstances. to get over the line, he needed the assistance of a number of opposition parties, including the democratic alliance. a party, the campaigns. csv against the agency. in the may elections, the people have spoken. they have not given any talk to him, a charge and not required quantities to come together. mister rumble pulls, that is the leader of his policy. and he is the leader of the policy that is committed to constitutionalism, defending our democracy, edited institutions. and therefore we will work with him. now the a and c, d, a i p. and as the parties are formed, what they call a government of national unity. and this government of national unity will be constituted as not by 2, not by 3, but by more parties that voluntarily wants to participate. what does that

mean? what it means, these different political parties have decided to work together for the basement of south africa. they've reached a formal agreement that will govern how they engage going forward. this includes how they will vote on different policies and how they plan to rebuild south africa is economy, improve its energy situation, and improve employment. it's a tough task ahead for these political parties, particularly because they have vastly different backgrounds and different ideological views. but they've agreed that they're going to make it work to ensure that south africa gets back to work. turn into some other news now. and here in germany, one of the biggest sporting events of the year, the european football championships, has kicked off with a bang host of germany beach scotland,

a backpack which they thought was suspicious. now they shouldn't have had backpacks because there should have been checks, but after about 2 hours, they figured out it was okay. there was no threat and everything to go forward, holes fans, those were at capacity. hundreds of thousands of fans and the atmosphere was amazing. so this summer is going to be absolutely fantastic. security obviously front and center in this tournament. also, let's talk a little bit more about what we can expect to have. do you think the fact that germany has had this 1st major windows that bode well for them and the rest of the tournament? definitely, so after tomorrow, germany will definitely after yesterday, sorry, germany will be considered favorites. their team is also very set up to win, right. now they're one of the oldest teams in the tournament, actually if not the oldest. when we talk about the tournament favorites, we can't miss france. of course, france is the runners up from the last world cup. and they could have come into this tournament with their 3rd strings players and still being considered the favorites. england also in their golden generation. they haven't done anything yet

. there's a lot of pressure on this side now for to go with chris on a rinaldo. maybe in his last tournament we never know was rinaldo croatia always strong? so definitely a lot of quality in this tournament and it's going to be absolutely fantastic. sure is daniel, thank you so much for joining us. as a dynamic barcelona from dw sports and millions of most one pilgrims from around the world, have it gathered at the sacred hill of mount or fight, and saudi arabia. on the 2nd day of the hodge pilgrimage, visiting the site known as the hell of mercy is considered the peak of the hash pilgrimage. worshippers ask for mercy blessings, prosperity, and good health. most has rituals or health outdoors and this year, temperatures at the holy sites could reach $48.00 degrees celsius. authorities have urged pilgrims to use umbrellas and to drink water water to stay hydrated.
